Teacher Binds Two Black Girls to Teach Lesson on Slavery

This is absolutely outrageous. No teacher should EVER tie up kids in a classroom, no matter what the intentions were. There is also obviously an additional emotional impact on the two black girls picked for this "activity" as well as black students in general. (for more see this) post over at Womanist Musings)

The teacher apologized for "causing any problems for the child" but not for "using that simulation during class." Wow… this is more than a simple "bad decision." This needs to reach national news, and this teacher needs to get fired.
